Answer:

When the brakes are applied the in the typical double transverse wishbone front suspension, it "drives" the car ground due to the setting of the link-type system pivot points on the lower wishbone are have parallel alignment to the road

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to minimize the car's reaction to the application of the brakes, the front and rear pivot are arranged with the lower wishbone's rear pivot made to be higher than the front pivot as such the inclined wishbone torque results in an opposing vertical force to the transferred extra weight from the back due to breaking.
